[Verse 1] The spores arrived in a velvet box I washed them down with mountain tea Checked the calendar, checked the clocks But time dissolved away from me The room bent inward like a paper crane My jaw felt heavy, my vision split [Chorus] Oh, the fungal teeth are sinking deep Into the soft of my burning tongue A velvet tether, a secret keep The wildest song that's ever been sung I'm pulled through portals of violet grain Beyond the border of bone and brain [Verse 2] They drag me through a forest made of glass Where trees recite my childhood dreams I watch the centuries of mountains pass And drown inside the golden streams My spirit's stretched like rubber wire Across a field of living fire [Bridge] No map to follow, no way to steer Just the biting sting and the spinning gold Everything I loved, everything I fear In a sudden rush, it all unfolds I am the traveler, I am the road [Chorus] Oh, the fungal teeth are sinking deep Into the soft of my burning tongue A velvet tether, a secret keep The wildest song that's ever been sung I'm pulled through portals of violet grain Beyond the border of bone and brain [Outro] Still spinning... Still biting... Gone.
